Who are you?
A Mother and Grandmother who enjoys creating!! Inspired by color! Love creating something from nothing and offering my items at a price that is affordable. I come from a large family, the oldest of 5 girls. I started sewing making elastic waist skirts at about 8 years old. The major inspiration in my life was and still is to this day My Grandmother Pearl-she was a model, an artist and a sewer, and that 1950's style homemaker. She was beautiful and so creative and helped me to appreciate those things. She has since passed on, but I try to keep her memory alive and pass on her legacy to my family and through my craft.
What do you create?
Jewelry and accessories. And will try anything. Love it all. I sit down at my craft table, look at my supplies and get inspired..usually by color...each day is different.
How did you come about your store name?
My Initials and my favorite color
What is the crafting utensil you cannot live without?
My hand held drill.

Where would you go if you had a time machine and why?
Back to the 1950's Feel a connection with that era...the clothes,the family respect that was the norm back then, the respect for authority and the government....at least that is how I see it.
What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

Choose a movie title to sum up your life’s story
ON GOLDEN POND...just growing old with my husband...so any movie that revolves around family and sound family values.
What famous person would you like to meet?
Angelina Jolie for her philanthropy
If you were a dessert what would it be?
Of course no question here....CHOCOLATE!!
